“We had numerous op opportunities to get in be behind them but the final ba ball or the finish wasn’t go good enough.
“I think, up until the se sending off, we were d dominant, although they were still getting us on the counter. We were the dominant team in the second half.

“We didn’t put a final pass or a final touch on a lot of our good play.
